Heat-Stroke/Sun-Stroke

It is an emergency situation it can be a threat to life. Exposure to excessive heat can lead to heat exhaustion and heat-stroke. The skin feels dry and hot. The patient experiences headache, nausea and drowsiness. He is thirsty. He suffers dizziness. His breath is noisy. The temperature may rise to 104°F or 40°C. Dehydration occurs and there is a drop in blood pressure. The patient gets confused and may lapse into unconsciousness.

Tough physical activity in the sun leads to excessive fluid and salt loss. This is called heat exhaustion. Its symptoms are excessive sweating , muscle camps, sudden weakness and fatigue. The patient may experience blurred vision, dizziness, nausea and headache. The patient may collapse without treatment.

The moment it is felt that a person has suffered sun-stroke, he should be immediately shifted to a shady area or an air-conditioned room. The body should be cooled by wrapping it in sheets soaked in cold water. Encourage the patient to drink substantial amounts of water so that the loss of fluids in the body can made up. The wet sheets should be replaced with dry ones when the temperature some down to 101°F or 38°C in case of heat exhaustion a very similar procedure has to be followed. The patient be given diluted fruit juice with a pinch of salt every few minutes.

EMERGENCY IN HOMOEOPATHY ( HEART )

A medical emergency is an a condition , injury or illness that is acute .This condition also poses an immediate risk to a person's life or long term health. These emergencies may require assistance from another person, who should ideally be suitably qualified to do so. Like allopathy , Homoeopathy have many Emergency remedies which can be administered according to the condition of the patient. Some emergencies may be treated with medicines , however where it is life threatening the patient would be referred to the nearest Hospital, emergencilly , because there cannot be take a risk .  In Homoeopathy there is great remedy named ARNICA. Simply doses of ARNICA 1M and ARNICA 12C; it is also a specific scientifically tested and verified protocol for using pre- and post-surgery. Whether you need surgery as a result of trauma, disease, or for cosmetic reasons, this product may be helpful in helping to recover from the surgery. This integration of using the best that conventional medicine offer through surgery and the best that natural medicine offers through a tested-method of using homeopathic Arnica creates a new model of real quality health care.    Speeds recovery from major traumas: • Fractures & sprains • Facial injuries • Muscle pulls • Shoulder injuries • Knee injuries • Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery • Oral Surgery • Back Surgery • Orthopedic Surgery • General Surgery Accidents: • Car Accidents • Bike Accidents Plus Sports Injuries: • Basketball • Baseball • Football • Hockey • Tennis • Soccer   Arnica Montana – also known simply as “Arnica”– has been used for centuries to reduce the uncomfortable swelling and bruising associated with a physical trauma. Prepared from a daisy-like plant native to the Swiss Alps, the herb is toxic; conversely, the resulting homeopathic medication is not, due to the small doses of Arnica used in Homeopathy. Major physical traumas result in broken or crushed blood vessels bleeding into injured muscle and/or connective tissue. Trauma Care is proven in research studies to speed the body’s natural response to injury. The body’s healing process is to re-establish normal blood flow, re-build the injured tissue, and remove the damaged, torn, crushed, or cut muscle fibers and connective tissue. Specifically designed to speed recovery from a major physical trauma, Trauma care is generally considered too strong for a minor bump or bruise. A “major trauma” is an injury which causes disruption to your normal routine, taking several days or weeks to heal on its own.

Reshape Your Body With HOMOEOPATHY.

It will be a good news that without costly surgeries and exercises you can reshape your body and may be look smart and handsome. Why is this possible? Answer is with Homoeopathy .May you have not knowledge that it could be possible to reshape the body or change one’s appearance without the use of costly exercise regimes or surgeries? That it is possible to highlight or enhance a part of your anatomy or even reduce the extra ‘curves’ without body sculpting? The answer lies in Plastic Medicine, a science that was accidentally brought to the notice of a French homoeopath, Dr. Jean-Pierre Gallavardin, while treating his patients. Plastic medicine is a science that one can study and apply while treating self or the patients. After the plastic arts that we owe to painters and to sculptors, we have the plastic surgery which gives shapes to the nose, to the face, to a limb and which we owe to allopathy. Then we have the plastic medicine, which we owe to Homoeopathy. At the first approach, it would seem unlikely that by the help of remedies, some parts of the body as regards their formations and colour can be modified . However if a remedy increases the nutrition of a particular part it will increase its plumpness and by bringing the repletion of tissues, it will cause to disappear the folds and the wrinkles. If another remedy diminishes the nutrition of a part, it will diminish its plumpness. The first of these remedies, by causing the flow of blood in that part will give colour (more or less rosy) to that part .The second, by causing the diminution of the flow of blood in that part of the body, will bring about paleness. With some appropriate remedies therefore, one may increase the plumpness and the colour of certain parts of the body and with some other remedies obesity and colour of those parts may be diminished. Here are some examples of drugs that were found very effective as plastic medicines: PLASTIC Medicines: 1. When there is a glandular swelling on the body with simultaneous disappearance of the breasts, Iodium 200 should be considered. 2. Breasts not developed with chlorotic anaemia- Ignatia 200. 3. When the shoulders and buttocks are very large and the breasts are too small- Calcarea carbonica 200. 4. Deformed breasts after feeding or delivery- Pulsatilla, Bryonia, Belladonna or Mercurius vivus. 5. Breasts too big- Nux vomica. 6. Neck very short and very big with an enormous double chin- Nux vomica 200. 7. Dark skinned men with an enormous belly- Nux vomica 10M (in women with an enormous belly- Nux vomica 200 ). 8. To make the skin fair from an unhealthy colour- Mercurius cyanatus. 9. Buttocks very fat- Nux vomica. 10. Pelvis, hips, buttocks very fat- Baryta carb, Calcarea carb, Antim crud. 11. Pelvis, hips, buttocks very thin- Silicea, Lycopodium, Sulphur. 12. Arms very lean- Graphites. 13. Face easily sun burnt- Sepia, Nux vomica, Sulphur, Nitric acid. 14. Lips wanting in red flesh- Mercurius solubilis, Nitric acid, arsenic. 15. Cheeks very lean- China , Phos. acid, Arsenic, Terebinth. 16. Chin very fat (double, triple)- Calcarea carb, Antim crud, Baryta. Pulsatilla, Nux vomica 17. Thinness of the four limbs, obesity of the face, neck, breasts, belly and hips- Nux vomica. 18. Ridges on the skin of the face- Lyco, Silicea. 19. Vertical ridges between the eyes- Natrum mur. 20. Horizontal ridges on the forehead- Lyco, Sepia, Sulphur. 21. Ridge of the two lips, which are folded like monkey’s- Arsenic, Lachesis.

22. Lines on the belly of a woman during pregnancy- Sepia, Natrum mur.

N.B :-When one wishes to make a part bigger, the remedy should be given during the increasing moon i.e. the 2nd, 3rd, 4th day after the new moon.

When one wishes to diminish the plumpness of the part, the remedy should be given during the decreasing moon i.e. the 2nd, 3rd, 4th day after the full moon.

Every homoeopathic doctor may find some plastic remedies, if they observe attentively the effects produced by a single dose of a remedy in 200 dilution and that it is allowed to act for 3, 5 or 8 weeks.

However, a note of caution- in the plastic treatment these doctors will be successful at first only in 30 percent of cases, then in the long run they will be successful in more than 50 percent cases .In the book there are more many medicines . In next article they also be mentioned .

PAINLESS DELIVERY WITH HOMOEOPATHY , IT IS SAFEST AND WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS.

If anybody asks that if in Homoeopathy have any remedies that make sure safer and Painless Delivery in females who have no any side Effects ? So its reply is YES . Homoeopathy have remedies who make sure the safer and Painless delivery . However , we first of all know about the physiology of Labor, delivery etc. The three stages of explusion of the infant and placenta constitute delivery.During the labor or delivery there is stretching of the cervix, uterus, vagina and perineum leading to stretching of nerve fibres supplying them, thus causing pain. The soft tissues are squeezed due to fetal skull and add pain. This is the reason why pain subsides and decrease in intensity after the head comes out. There are various methods to have a painless delivery or delivery with minimal pain but each methods have some advantages associated with some disadvantages. Pregnancy and child birth is the most precious gift for women given by God. The only one thing which makes a pregnant lady curious, anxious and fearful is the pain during delivery .While our mothers and grandmothers quietly bore this pain while delivering normal and healthy babies, it is the modern-day woman who is largely resorting to anesthetic intervention. Epidural Anesthesia or Epidural for short is a popular painkiller administered during labor to achieve a virtually painless delivery. It has been in use in the western countries for decades, so it has been introduced especially for performing C-section surgeries, in Pakistan also. Epidural literally means the part of human spine inside the spinal canal which is separated from the spinal cord. It is into the epidural space that a trained anesthetist injects the painkilling drugs through a catheter. The epidural space contains only loose tissue and veins, which means that it is very easy injecting there. The effects of the painkiller vary from patient to patient. Numbness lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. Side Effects:- Its use, however, has been open to debate for its side effects, some of which may be dangerous. The three main side effects of an epidural injection are :loss of other modalities of sensation loss of muscle power. loss of function of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls blood pressure. HOMOEOPATHY REMEDIES FOR PAINFUL DELIVERY:- Perhaps Homoeopathy is the only way of Treatment in which safer and painless delivery is possible .These remedies act as a tonic to the uterine muscles. These dilate the lower segment and reinforces the contractions at the fundus. Tones up the abdominal and pelvic muscles and helps the delivery. Symptoms: Pain, contraction, bearing down pains. Treatment :- Caulophyllum thalktroides; Q = Ensures Painlnless Delivery if it is given Twice since 7th month . If in Labor it is given it ensures safer delivery. This remedy acts as a tonic to the uterine muscles. It dilates the lower segment and reinforces the contractions at the fundus. Also Aconitum napellus; Arnica Montana ,Gelsemium sempervirens; Phosphorus; Silicea; Staphysagria. Aconitum napellus: Allays anxiety during child-birth. Given as pre-operative medication for caesarean section or forceps delivery. Arnica montana: Heals injuries in the birth passage. Gelsemium sempervirens: Tones up the abdominal and pelvic muscles and helps the delivery. Phosphorus: To arrest bleeding. Silicea: Useful in the elderly primipara. Staphysagria: Heals episiotomy wounds. N.B.This may be noted here that all these remedies will be according to the symptoms.

MUSHROOMS, GREEN TEA LOWER THE RISK OF BREAST CANCER. The researchers found that the greater the mushroom consumption (both fresh and dried), the lower the breast-cancer risk. Those who ate the greatest amounts of fresh mushrooms (10 grams or more per day) were about 2/3 less likely than those who ate none at all to develop breast cancer. Subjects who ate 4 grams per day saw their breast-cancer risk fall by half. Interestingly, the women decreased their risk even more if they also drank green tea daily. The breast-cancer risk of women who consumed both mushrooms and green tea was 11 percent, compared to 18 percent for women who didn't consume either food. The study used green tea, which is a "younger" tea but which still has caffeine. While the researchers eliminated possible confounding factors, this study does not prove that mushrooms and green tea actually reduce a woman's chances of getting breast cancer. Epidemiological studies, however, do show that in places where the Chinese people are still eating the traditional diet, breast-cancer rates are 4-to-5 times lower than those of most developed countries. (All bets are off if a Chinese woman has switched to eating a westernized diet.) While this study has not nailed down a cause-and-effect relationship, it is the first to link high dietary consumption of mushrooms and green tea to reduced breast-cancer risk. In addition, those participants who ate at least 10 grams of mushrooms per day saw the greatest reductions in their risk. Half a cup of raw mushrooms weighs roughly 35 grams, so a little more than 1/8 cup of raw mushrooms a day (about 8 or 9 grams' worth) might just help reduce your breast-cancer risk. Even an 8-ounce cup of raw mushrooms would add up to only 10 calories; therefore, a big helping of these tasty fungi might also help you feel fuller and lose weight. Adding green tea may be a good idea, too. Some Tips :- • Look for mushrooms that are firm, unblemished, and free of mold or surface moisture (but not dry). • Store pre-packed containers of mushrooms in airtight plastic bags in the fridge, so they'll hold on to their moisture and won't spoil so rapidly. • Place loose mushrooms in a paper bag and then in your fridge. • Squeeze some lemon or lime juice onto raw mushrooms to help them retain their color.

HEALTH AND HOMOEOPATHY.

Health is"a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This is the Definition from world Health orginisation in 1948 at his creation.

Overall health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, which, together is commonly referred to as the Health Triangle.

In this world there are many ways to maintain health i.e Allopthy , Unani way of treatment ( With herbs ), auorvedik ( mostly in India),Homoeopathy ( which starts from Germany and know in almost all the countries have it ).Besides this other alternative ways of maintaining health are in the world , i.e accupuncture,acupressure, spiritual healings, Chinese ways of treating , Yoga and other numourous ways.If we see thoroughly and deeply , Homoeopathy way of treating is nearest to the nature.Its philosophy is” similia, similibus, curentur, let likes be cured by likes”.These are words of Dr.Samual Hahnemanne. Who’s definition of health invited nations to expand the conceptual framework of their health systems beyond issues related to the physical condition of individuals and their diseases, and it motivated us to focus our attention on what we now call social determinants of health. Only a handful of publications have focused specifically on the definition of health and its evolution in the first 6 decades. Some of them highlight its lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete." Others declare the definition, which has not been modified since 1948, "simply a bad one." In 1986, the WHO, in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, said that health is "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities." Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC), which is composed of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) also define health. In Homoeopathic philosophy , it is insisted on mental health , because a healthy mind represents a healthy body. If we see the Kent repertory , we will find that it is started from mind symptoms.There are nearly 60,000 symptoms in this repertory.Mental health describes either a level of cognitive or emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder. Physical fitness refers to body health, and is the result of regular exercises , proper diet , nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery.Homoeopathy discusses on these all problems whether they related to physical health or mental health. Here I also state that personal health depends partially on the social structure of one's life. The maintenance of strong social relationships is linked to good health conditions, longevity, productivity, and a positive attitude. This is due to the fact that positive social interaction as viewed by the participant increases many chemical levels in the brain which are linked to personality and intelligence traits. In coming days we will also discuss on how to we maintain our these health levels.
